Episode Description:
Three pressure points are converging in Korea's financial sector — and each one has a different regulatory clock.

Korean domestic crypto exchanges now list more coins than Coinbase: Bithumb at 474, Upbit at 375, versus Coinbase's 116. Card loan interest income surged 21% year-on-year, prompting the Financial Supervisory Service to issue public guidance targeting a 4.6% rate increase ceiling. KB Financial Group became the official sponsor of KIAF Seoul — Korea's largest international art fair — integrating wealth management services into its KB Star Banking platform. Shinhan Bank's wealth forum placed only a 10% probability on a U.S. debt crisis materializing in 2026.
